Are you guys serious? There was a child in the clip? I just zoned out on how the person did the clip. I don't even think I knew what the words were. Watching the lighting, listening to the beat of it, the changes, wondered how he did it, watching the lip sinc and then it ended with a boom. The look on the womans face with the lighting reminded me of silient film acting, the way he did it. Was the woman supposed to be the kid? The only one I thought looked like a kid was the villian. He didn't seem abused to me. I thought it might be more the revenge of a kid. I didn't know who he was either, I was thinking that was Docotr Who. I haven't watched Doctor Who since the tall lanky guy did it, curly hair, don't even recall his name. Neat scarf though.

Kind of how I listen to music too. I just go for the ride. I've been fooling around with video editing things a bit, so I was interested in the clip, for other reasons, I guess. I still thought it was funny. But like I said, I wasn't feeling any empathy for the actors, they were a side note to me. The was no real lead up to the thing, no follow up, there was no plot. If Monty Python had done it, people would que into it better maybe. Mel Brooks most certianly could handle it.

*shrug* I dunno

Back to Quatermass:

As a way of an experiment I showed the video to my 24 year old daughter and her fiance who is 26. They viewed it separately with earphones on. I didn't tell them before hand of the child abuse comment nor my opinion of it. I just asked them to watch and write a brief review. This is what they said:

Jesse: Weird. Interesting. Good clip to send to someone that won't stop nagging you.

Ray: I don't get the clip. Maybe it's because I've never seen the program it was from. Just seems ridiculous to me.

When I told them about the child abuse comment they responded with:

Jesse: Child abuse? Where the hell are they pulling that from?
Ray: Child abuse? That's stupid.

When I asked them if they would let their 5 yr. old watch it they said:
Yeah, why not?

When I asked them what they thought of the movie "Natural Born Killers" they said;

Awesome movie. One of my favorites. The first movie we ever watched together. But now, with children, certain scenes are harder to take than before. We would never let our kids watch that movie until they were teenagers.

I am very much in agreement with Nan. Though I think the person who put this together is most likely a woman hater and not a child abuser. Unless the child was a "little" woman who talked too much. That troubles me.

Well, I did not put it together, and I did not think of the abuse aspect. I'm sure that, if you watched the episode this was based on, you'd be horrified at the woman's actual fate (being possessed by a green gas monster) and her attitude after being possessed (the alien possessing her notes sadistically that she met a very undignified end, screaming in fear).

Next time, I'll refrain from posting anything remotely funny in the Cafe, as not to offend anyone.

I have a small shop vac in the cave. You can get attachments for cleaning key boards and I use it instead of canned air for cleaning computer fan intakes and even inside when I dust it out. Love it and the dog likes it too.

Krex, your collection is amazing and fascinating. I intend to go back and take a good look at everything.

As for accents, although I grew up in New Jersey, I got picked on at school for using odd spelling, (colour, faeries, grey, laundrey) and speaking in an English accent flawlessly. My mother used to jokingly call me her little Britisher. Go figure, LOL. I learned to suppress the accent later, but could bring it out to make others laugh.

My aspie grandkids have accents.

Actually Quatermass, my intentions were to show that it is a personal reaction which varies greatly between generation and age of viewer. I was trying to provide some input from the younger generation and went to a bit of trouble to do it. And you did ask for our opinions. Should we lie? My kids were totally cool with it. It wasn't intended to be a lynching. I think your putting your video up for a poll was an interesting subject for the Cafe.

You did it? Sweet, I got into it. Liked it, don't let it discourage you. It's not like you sold your butt to Hitler to make pretty films, even if they are considered art. Sorry I used the word "guy" to discribe you, I didn't know you had done it.

Ok miss read your post my bad. Just did one here at the house. Cafe party cookies coming up. :twisted:

Godwit just accused me of child abuse when I showed him this humourously re-edited clip from Doctor Who: Human Nature. I want a second opinion, people.

Thank you. It sounded like a lynching, however, and so I am glad it isn't. I probably wouldn't show it to my kids (unless they liked British comedy, and if they were ever born) until they were maybe 12. Believe it or not, I was laughing at macabre humour at a fairly young age (at Con Air, although it was probably more schadenfreude than anything else). However, there are lines I do not cross. Anubis crossed it once when he posted one of the VG Cats webcomics, which is sometimes quite funny, but this one wasn't. It involved one of the main characters being curious about how Winnie the Pooh, a stuffed animal, could eat honey. So he vivisected him. That was funny, but it is more the stuff of nightmares, compared to, say, the macabre dream sequence in CSI: Grave Danger where Nick Stokes dreams about his own autopsy. Nick Stokes getting dissected was funny. Winnie the Pooh isn't funny dissected.

I did not make the video. Someone else did. I don't even have a YouTube account. Graelwyn does, if memory serves.

Hi Reika, Grab a hat if you are still here. Krex wants the Fez. Yes Krex, the flamingo is furry. I'll be wearing my old standby, my Leopard-skin pill box.

Hi, Robyn. Glad to see you.
